Making a Move

One of the more interesting challenges in changing media formats is that the great storage unit you have for one format doesn't quite fit the new format! As we work on converting some of our cassette collection to compact disc, we're fortunate that the cassette drawers can be refitted so that discs can be stored, but we did buy the last racks in the United States that fit those cabinets and there weren't enough to put in all the cassette drawers! Nevertheless, we're moving things into those refitted drawers as fast as we can, but it is a slow process and there are still some compact discs that haven't quite made it. If you find a compact disc in the catalog but don't see it in the drawers, please check with IRC staff to make sure that we don't have them stored in our offices while waiting for a space to become available! And thank you for your patience as we continue this important project.
